Potion Bottles

Continuing our "Potions" unit, we decided to create our own potion bottles! Children were asked to bring in a glass bottle which preferably took an interesting shape. Some decorations were provided such as pipe cleaners and tissue paper, but many opted to bring in their own additions to help them create their potion for a specific purpose. For example, we had a couple of potions for Christmas so a couple of children brought in tinsel and baubles.

Once the bottles were finished, we added water and food colouring to give them that eerie glow!

A very tricky (and messy!) project but I feel these were a strong attempt.
